State Of Goshen
Goshen, officially known as the State of Goshen (), was a short-lived Boer republic in southern Africa founded by Boers expanding west from Transvaal who opposed British advance in the region. Located in Tswana territory west of the Transvaal, Goshen existed as an independent nation for a short period; from 1882 to 1883 as the State of Goshen and, after unification with neighbouring Stellaland, as the United States of Stellaland (Dutch: ''Verenigde Staten van Stellaland'') from 1883 to 1885. During its history, Goshen, though small in size, became a focal point of conflict between the British Empire and the South African Republic, the two major players vying over the territory. After a series of claims and annexations, British fears of Boer expansionism ultimately led to its demise and, among other factors, set the stage for the Second Boer War of 1899–1902. History Before the proclamation of Goshen, the land was under the control of competing Griqua and Tswana groups, ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
